Poemetti mariani dimenticati fra Lagrime e Rime spirituali del Tasso

The volume presents the new critical edition of Nicolao Tucci's volume († 1615) Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae, placing it in the context of other forgotten Marian poems, between Lagrime e Rime spirituali of Tasso, reviving in its freshness the literary climate of the 16th century, close to the Protestant Reformation. A large appendix then repeats many unpublished texts, almost an anthology of Marian songs by Capuchin authors coeval or later than Tucci, testimony of loving acquaintances, meditations and a fire that burns in the soul of these ancient friars without consuming it.
